The IV.'. 000 people of Hawaii
consume a preat deal of supar in
the run of a year. Much goes into
cakes, candies, etc. This consump
tion would undoubtedly be in

which would 1 the case in event
of the removal of unnecessary ex

The mills turninc out refined su

attention ot the general public.
This might be done bv means of
advertising, such a? was carried on
by the pinearple and pinectar peo
ple some years ago. It is a matter
f.lso that might well be encouraged
hy the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, the Honolulu Chamlier of
Commerce and probably other or

All such movements are in the
direction of placing the Islands
upon a self-sustaining basis, and
that means independence and suc

that the law p'ainlv provides for

It would be an excellent tiling
if arrangements could be made for
the establishment throughout the
Territory of night schools for the
lientfit of l.ys above the scVoo)
age who have to work during the
da . In the country communities,
more particularly, are numerous
such loys, who now fritter away
valuable evening hours and who
stand much in need of just such
training as the night school would
give. This is one object for which
an increase in the school tax would
probably not te objected to very
seriously, once the ned for it is
clearly understood bv the public.
The people around Homesteads
should 1 given every encourage
ment and support in their effort?
to raise money for a public ball.
At most other places of any size
on Kauai such halls have been
provided by the plantations or by
wealthy people. At the Homesteads
the "small farmers" musl battle
it out alone. They intend to try to
raise the necessary money b
means of a series of entertain
ments, and it is to be hoped that

It is reported that pineapple
men at Honolulu have for some
time been button-holing prospec
tive growers of the Kapaa neigh
borhood and endeavoring to dis
courage them with statements to
the effect that the establishment
cf a cannery near Kapaa will not
1 realized, for reasons vaguely
hinted at but not disclosed. Can
there l anv connection letween
this unusual activity of Oahu pine
tp'ple men and the recent grand
stand playing of the land board at
Honolulu in regard to the Kapaa
cannerv site? The "smell" of the
two evils is remarkably similar!
The M atn a I-c-a, bearing the
Ad, Club's fiartv, will leave Hana
jee and proceed around Kauai to
Honolulu. It would be a good
card if Rev. J. M. Lydgate, or
someone else equally well inform
ed, could I detailed to accompany
our departing guests on that sec
tion of the excursion, in order
that unusual sights cn the north
and west sides of the island might
t pointed out and explained to
them. It is certain that our visitors
would ap-preciate this additional
courtesy very much.
The AeNNOTN cement that Ewa
plantation will continue paying
monthly dividends of one pier cent
this vear reauires some explana-
$40 a ton. The promise now is to
cut down the cost of j'roduction to
$33 to f 54 a ton. Of course few
other plantations in the gToup could
touch thes.e lew fgures of cost,
and most other sugar companies.

ues, would not t-e able to pay ex

1 direction of Hanalei, and is to be
; commended for his foresight, in
, asmrch as this is a 7art of the
route to t-e taken by the Ad. Club
excursionists four weeks hence.
Few things impress visitors quick
er than good roads, and with the
Hanalei route touched up a little.
Kauai will tie atle to held her ex
cellent reputation in this regard.
The Demockatic Teskitos.;ai.
Cc-kkjttee ha decided that it
